Randall County Death Records

Death records like Randall County Death Records are some of the most requested for records from the government because these are the official records of the government in regards to the death of the person named in the record and because that would be the case, these records are the best evidence that one could present in order to prove the fact of the death of the person named in the record, something that would usually be required to be done in cases of succession for the law requires that the fact of the death of the decedent should first be proven before the succession could begin.

This is the reason why Randall County Death Certificates are often the first requirements that those who are petitioning for the probate of a will are required to produce before the court handling the proceedings. As the official records, these records are given the presumption of regularity such that the contents are presumed to be true and accurate at all times, yet it must be noted that this would only be true if the records were obtained from the proper sources as identified by the law and not if the records were obtained from secondary sources. It should also be noted that these records are also not public records, and because of that, the law limits the number of people who could make the request for the same.

This does not mean, however, that only those who are identified by the law could get their hands on Randall County Death Notices. What the law limits is the number of people who could make the request for the complete copies of the records, and those who are not included in the list of people provided for by law could only get copies of death verification slips. These slips, however, are just as powerful as the actual records in proving the fact of the death of the person named in the record and the only difference between the two would be that these slips would not contain specifics as they would only prove the existence of the record. Given that the record would only be made if the person named in the record is dead, then the verification slip confirming the existence of the records is more than enough prima facie proof to prove the death of the person named in the record.

A request for verification may only be done at the county or state level, and the procedure to do so would be to make the request through the mail. The usual fee for the verification slip would usually be five dollars per verification and the required fee must accompany the request letter in the form of a money order or personal check when the request is sent to the vital records units of the Texas Department of Health. Owing to the number of records that would have to be checked, the usual processing time would be anywhere between six to eight weeks.

Cause of Death Records are also available online through online databases, though note that most of these databases are not official sources, thus, even if the information that they could provide would be substantially the same as that which could be found from the official sources, they could still not be used for official purposes.
